In addition to being a CottageKeeper, Gay Penney, of Corona del Mar, California,  is a professional floral designer.  She is a member of bbrooks fine flowers,  a consortium of worldwide fine florists.  Gay is also an interior decorating consultant and inventor of The California Vase™, a wonderful and unique floral vase for decorating patio table umbrellas and other vertical structures.  Being the mother of two young children, she is keenly aware of time and budget constraints and incorporates those demands into her advice.  If you have a specific floral or decorating question, send a note to Help@CottagesandGardens.com.
LAZY SUSANS AND MIRRORS

Lazy Susans and mirrors can be very helpful when preparing a flower arrangement. Place the arrangement on the Lazy Susan and spin it around to ensure all sides of the arrangement are to your satisfaction.  If an arrangement is not looking right but you can't put your finger on the problem, then hold it in front of a mirror and you will usually be able to see the problem.
